Smart Irrigation, Healthy Soil, Strong Plants
GroLab™ Soil Kit is an extremely versatile grow controller, ideal for those looking to automate soil or substrate-based cultivations with precision. This system allows intelligent management of lighting, climate, and especially irrigation, adapting to the plants’ real needs.
The SoilBot continuously monitors soil moisture, activating irrigation only when necessary — avoiding both overwatering and water stress, and ensuring optimal root health. It also includes a flood sensor that detects leaks or flooding, enabling immediate alerts and even automatic actions to minimise damage.
Integration with the GroLab™ platform provides advanced features such as remote control, email notifications, IP camera monitoring, data logging and analysis. All of this to offer full control over the grow, no matter where the user is.
The GroLab™ Soil Kit is the ideal choice for those who seek more efficient, secure and consistent cultivation.
Includes:
1 - Starter Kit
1 - SoilBot Kit
1 - GroLab software, manuals and video tutorials
*This kit contains one GroNode, allowing you to further expand your control just by adding extra modules. GroNode can control a max of 4 PowerBots, 4 TankBots, 4 SoilBots and 4 UserBots.
What does GroLab™ Soil Kit allows me to control?
Example Configuration
Get rid of all the timers, triplets and messy cables hanging in your growing area, and even save some water and fertilizers.
With this configuration you get precise control of your lamps, configuring the growing days from 18h/6h to 12h/12h in one click, allowing even to make an 8h/8h day if you wish so.
The PowerBot's temperature and humidity probe enable the control of the ventilation, lowering the consumption for this device while optimizing the climate in your growing area.
Connecting two water pumps to PowerBot allows the control of irrigation (hydroponics and soil), from the basic weekday's selection (one hour in the morning every other day) to the enhanced recurrent schedule (5 minutes every hour). The GroLab™ Software allows the creation of schedules to feed any kind of grow type with extreme precision.
Thanks to the SoilBot, you can keep the substrate under control (both soil or hydroponics), constantly monitoring and performing any correction you desire. For example, you can create an alarm that triggers a timed drip irrigation whenever the percentage of moisture in the soil drops to a minimum value, or even use some device to heat or cool the soil based on the SoilBot's temperature sensor. In the hydroponics you can use the substrate moisture sensor to warn you if the bed is getting too dry, meaning a pump might be broken.
Not only it can warn you, but it can also take action and stop the pump. The same happens with the detection of a flood or a leak. Notifications, selective shutdown, are just some of the procedures you can configure.
This configuration easily manages an area with two distinct growing systems, ensuring a complete automation of lighting, climate and proper irrigation for each growing system independently. If you use this configuration you will still have two inputs available for moisture sensors in the SoilBot and one input available in the PowerBot (universal switch sensor, that can be used for a motion/smoke detector or water level sensor).
GroLab™ offers data-logging and data-storing, these features ensure that all the information about sensors/devices is collected and stored over time! Thanks to these and to the data-visualization features, it is possible to do a detailed analysis of the life cycle of your plants, enabling you to maximize their growth and efficiency!
This is a scheme designed to show some of the GroLab™ Soil Kit possibilities, nevertheless, you can rearrange the devices, or even replace them, with any other device you may find useful, like lamps, fog makers, fans, heaters, dehumidifiers, etc. Since a single GroNode supports up to 4 modules of each type, if at some point, you need to add more sensors or devices (e.g. to control another growing area), you will only need to add the desired extra modules expanding your control.

THE HEART & BRAIN OF THE OPERATION
A state of the art growing unit that interacts with other GroLab™ modules simulating the operation of a brain. It is capable to execute hundreds of instructions and to store a large amount of data allowing a detailed analysis about the life cycle of the user’s plants. GroNode will do all the hard work for you and will notify you if a risk situation arises. The only limit to GroNode is your imagination.

Autonomous
Although it may not seem like it, GroNode is a powerful computer that can do hundreds of tasks by itself. This means that it is not necessary to have a PC or other third-party device connected to GroNode for it to continue working. GroLab™ Software is only required to configure the system and to monitor your grow(s).

Secure
GroLab™ has several layers to protect your data, in addition to the credentials needed to access GroLab™ Software the system also requires credentials to access GroNode. This means that if your PC gets compromised the GroLab™ will stay safe. E-mail notifications are also secured, GroNode uses a private server as a redirection point to send notifications, this way the IP can't be linked to your location. Remember that GroLab™ can operate without Internet connection, using it that way entirely hides it from the world.

Programmable Procedures
There are two main types of programmable procedures, alarms and schedules. GroNode has the ability to store and execute up to 100 of each type allowing a precise and extensive automation of any grow(s).

Multitasking
GroNode has the ability to perform hundreds of tasks simultaneously. This capacity provides to the GroLab™ system a fast and precise reactions based on the desired user instructions.

Modules Communication
GroNode communicates with other modules through radio frequency with a range of 25 meters indoors (depending on obstacles) and 100 meters in open spaces. This makes it easy to organize the modules through the growing area(s) or even on the outside.

Accessibility & Connectivity
GroNode can be configured, monitored and controlled by an easy-to-use software. You can choose whether you connect GroNode to a router, directly to PC or to other access point with Ethernet support.

Notifications
When you provide Internet connection to GroNode it can send real time alerts and updates to your e-mail, keeping you updated about the state of your grow(s) anywhere, anytime.

Data-Logging
GroNode has its own memory that is capable of storing hundreds of thousands of data. With data-logging and data-visualization features, it is possible to do a detailed analysis about the life cycle of the user’s plants.

Remote Control
When connecting the GroNode to a router with an Internet connection, it allows you to activate the GroLab™ system's remote control. This feature grants user access from anywhere at any time through an easy-to-use software. Allowing to fully control all the modules.

Security Protocols
It is possible to create complex security protocols using alarms (one of the main programmable procedures type). They provide several tools to prevent, notify or even react to risk situations. One of the possible reactions is to suspend some parts or even the whole system until the user gives the order to continue. When a security alarm activates, GroNode will blink red and can also be configured to emit a loud beeper and send e-mail notifications.

Cloud Upload
This is another feature that makes the bridge between your grow(s) and the online world. Connecting GroNode to the Internet allows the user to configure a cloud server to periodically upload the data-log from all sensors/devices. One feature that opens the door to a multitude of advanced data analysis possibilities, essential for comprehensive studies.

IP Cameras
GroNode supports IP cameras allowing the user to keep their grows and surrounding areas under constant surveillance from anywhere at any time, through an intuitive interface provided by the GroLab™ Software.
